[PATCH 6/9] UML - capture printk output for mconsole stack

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Wed Jan 04 2006 - 16:00:10 EST


The stack command now sends the printk output back to the mconsole
client. This is done by registering a special console for the
mconsole driver. This receives all printk output. Normally, it is
ignored, but when a stack command is issued, any printk output will
be sent back to the client.
This will capture any printk output, whether it is stack output or
not, since we can't tell the difference.
